MUNICH, Germany – Vice President J.D. Vance attended his first bilateral meeting this morning alongside NATO leaders, including Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who appeared to react positively to the Trump-Vance insistence that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) needs reform, with Rutte stating: “I look forward also from that perspective to our talks and on Europe stepping up, European part of NATO stepping up. You’re absolutely right. It has to be done. We have to grow up in that sense and spend much more.”
The pair appeared for the media, including The National Pulse, just before 9:30AM local time, during which VP Vance established the focus of the meeting, including the Ukraine-Russia war and America’s “challenges in East Asia.”
